There is a program called hlp2rtf and another one called hlp2doc, which convert help files to rich text format, and Word for Windows format respectively. You probably want the first one.
Well, both seem to be Windoze specific formats, too. On my system I found a SGML to RTF converter, but nothing to convert RTS into something or view RTF. So again, is there something to view or convert DOC or RTF into something standard?

A lot of wordprocessors can read and write to the RTF format. I believe that Wordperfect (from v5.0 onwards) for DOS (and unix?) can read that format - so can Wordstar 2000 for DOS, etc. There must be unix/linux and/or OS/2 programs out there that can read the RTF format - or am I wrong?
BTW: RTF is basically ascii text with zillions of formatting codes.
